From Yvette:

...if if weren't for him, I'd still be eating turkey.  (Just kidding)

...he has a way of reminding me not to take anything (even death) too seriously.

...he reminds me that all good things are like a fine wine, they improve with age (ie, the differences from season 1 to season 9) so I shouldn't dread getting older, but embrace it.

...he plays piano very well, and when he sings 'Sunrise, Sunset', I literally get goosebumps.

...he marches to the beat of a different drum, and that reminds me that everyone, even angels, are individuals and should not be judged or criticized for being what they are.  This is really valid to me because I was always told to think about what others think of me...Perhaps it was more important to not put so much emphasis on them.

...he's not afraid to stand up to authority for following his conscience.

...he is confident in himself and won't let someone talk down at him.  That is also important.

From Cindy:

I am grateful to Adam for working with Andrew on different assignments.  They make a good team of Angels.

From Rebecca:

I am grateful for Adam because he was funny.  He brought a bit of dry humor to AOD and he was quite humorous.  Adam had a way of stepping into a situation and lightening it up a little.

From Jenni:

I'm grateful for Adam keeping me amused when my dad had to go to the Emergency Room back in 1994.  (He was totally fine... my dad, I mean.  Although Adam's pretty fine in his own way, too.  ;-)

I'm also grateful to Adam for intriguing me.  My earliest memories of TBAA involve him so I think he may have been what anchored me to the show.  And if he hadn't... I may never have known who Andrew was and may then never have followed John's career.  And that would be terribly sad!

I'm grateful to Adam for introducing me to the yummyness that is TLS.  It's a real thing!

From Lady JenniAnn:

I'm grateful to Adam for his willingness to take the time to explain the mysteries of the male angelic mind to me.

I'm just so thankful to Adam and Andrew and Henry and Eli and all the AODs just for making us all feel safe and loved.

From Monica:

I'm grateful for Adam's attentiveness to my clothing.  That mini-skirt really was much too short...  He was right.

I'm also thankful for Adam's willingness to share his many talents with us.  I happen to think he plays the piano brilliantly.  And sometimes he even lets me sing along.

From Andrew:

I'm grateful for Adam's willingness to help his fellow AODs out.  I looked for his advice a lot when I was first starting out and sometimes I still do.  Thank you, buddy.

I'm grateful for the way he makes me laugh and do things I might not try otherwise... like dreadlocks.  0;-)

I'm also real grateful for his continued help in keeping our ages forever a mystery to the girls. 

From Alexander:

Gobble, gobble.  Gobble.  Gob-gob-gobble.  (Translation: I'm grateful to Adam for saving my life.)
